Thanks guys! Of course I fold, but there was just a seed of doubt in my mind when I was thinking through the hand afterwards so thought I'd put it to the forum.

He shows the  : after I folded which didn't help...

Hi All,

Playing the usual 1/1 game in the casino holding  : : in the CO with about 450 behind.

There is a straddle to 3, one limper to me and i make it 10 and both the straddle and the limper call.

:  :  : (32 in the pot)

The straddler opens to 16 and the limper shoves for 114.... what do we do?

The all in player is quite new to the table and we don't have much info on him. I feel like this is potentially quite a standard spot so would really liek to know your feelings. thanks as always!

thanks all, I take on board what you're saying about getting over 300bb in with an over pair and the comments about good players disguising their holding by not 4betting the massive hands.

also re the comments on the sizing; the players at this table were really not good (with one exception as I say) so every time I hit a hand I was going for maximum value. Players in this game call far too wide on every street so it pays off far more often than the times than I value own myself.

Playing 1/1 in the casino, with £370 behind in the SB.

We have  : :
UTG+1 (who is and old guy who I've played a few times, he just likes seeing flops and is pretty passive) min raises to 2, folds round to me and I 3bet to 7. BB folds.

:  :  : (15 in the pot)

I c-bet to 12 and the old guy tank shoves for his remaining 60.

What are our thoughts on this move and where do we think we are? What do we do?

Thanks for your opinions people, I think I my main issue was the size of the pre flop raise, think it needed to be 15-20 in honesty. I like to keep these hands in the early range as I'm pretty tight pre, if I haven't have some suited connectors and low pairs i'd just be a nit haha

Had a couple of decisions last night with over pairs, I think they're both pretty similar so have bundled them both together.
The table I was playing had one solid reg and the rest of the players were pretty much in it for the gamble:

Hand 1:
  in the BB playing £160 in a £1/£1 casino game
2 limpers and the BU makes it £7, I 3bet to £26, only the BU calls
   
I c-bet to £46 and the button shoves for £120. I tank and decide their range is mostly draws shoving their equity. I call and villain tables  (what a flop...) and rivers the 4 for the straight and that's the first stack gone...

Hand 2:
  in the SB playing £320 in the same £1/£1 game, the solid player that I mentioned is in the BB.
CO raises to £7, I 3bet to £21. Both BB and the CO call.
   
I c-bet to £55, BB calls and CO folds.

I lead again for £75 and BB shoves for £250 and the CO folds. As I say this is the solid/good player at the table so I do believe he also has bluffs in his range. I have taken AA and KK out of the range due to the preflop action so I call. He instantly tables the KK and (thin brags) I river a Q to take the pot.

I see these as very similar spots with the over pair to the board but obviously we were up against very different hands.

Should I be getting it all in the middle in these spots? Or do we have reasons to fold? Both decisions are very much reliant on the assumption the AA and KK would have been 4bet preflop like 90% of the time in these games. am i relying on this too much?

ok... made a minor mistake here. The hand is  ...
I wouldn't be opening 67o here lol

Sitting with £370  in a live £1/£2 game with  :  :  UTG+1

The £5 straddle is live and I make it £10. I had been card dead for a while and had a pretty tight image at the table to get in with a nice implied odds type of hand. I get three callers including UTG.
(Should I have made this bet bigger? In hindsight I feel that I made it too accessible to other players with a lower strength hand)

 :  :  :  (Pot £41)

UTG leads  for £15, I feel that my gut shot is worth  a look at the turn here with the intention to fold to any further aggression from late position.
All others fold, heads up to the turn.

 :  (Pot £71)

UTG leads again, this time for £30.  Of course if I hadn't picked up more equity on the turn I fold here but I did, so I make the call.
(Thoughts on this call? I think that any rivers that make my straight are pretty innocuous to a big(ish) King so my implied odds are quite strong.

 :  (Pot £131)

Woooo I hit my straight, boooo the front door flush came in.... UTG leads again  for £65. I now feel that he's polarised to a flush or a King. In my head I've decided that it's more often a king and make the call.

Comments welcome on any any all decisions above...

Results to follow after your comments.

Thanks!

Thanks All!

I feel the moral of this story is to not pay people at this level off... Guys playing 1/1 are so rarely bluffing the river (even more rarely bluff raising) that I'm almost never good here.

Also agree that I should have lead out the flop

Playing £1/£1 casino cash, £150 behind with  :  :  in the SB.

The £2 straddle is in and there are 4 limpers to me, I complete for the extra £1 (getting 12/1 on the call) and so does the BB. UTG checks his option. Right, is this just a call with any two? Seems like the odds just to see the flop are crazy.

 :  :  :

BOOM! That's how to hit a flop. I check first to act with the intention of c/r any bet but it checks round...

 :

I lead out for £12, UTG calls and the rest fold. I don't have a massive amount of info on this guy at the time but he was playing a lot of pots so assumed he's quite loose.

 :

I lead again for £21, UTG tanks and raises to £65. I tank and decide there is a lot he could be playing that looks strong after the checked flop and call.

Villain tables  : : for the rivered straight sigh...

Should I have taken a more aggressive line on the flop? I feels like a SB open on this flop is going to fold out the whole table 90% of the time and the remaining 10% I'm always beaten, the check keeps a lot of worse hands and bluffs in the opponents ranges.

As played is the river always a call here?

Thoughts?

As played if you miss the river are you betting all the same or checking back?

As a general rule in these games I try not to attempt any big river bluffs, these people (even the regs) tend to be serious non-believers if they've gone all the way to the river... I think if I miss I give up and check behind.

Did you give him his money back?

Nope... he still had enough after ... I didn't even say sorry

And yes.. the river is a typo. Was was

Apart from making it £8 preflop I'd play it the same I reckon.

£8 is a pretty big open for the game much over £6 and you're only getting call by a tight ranger I think. Thanks for the option though, might mess about with some different opens in future

Hi People,

Your thoughts on the line I took on this hand please?

Playing £1/£1 in a London card room and a young reg moves over to our table with a £700 stack (max buy-in £150) and proceeded to start throwing his weight, and chips, around as soon as he sat down.

He's been bullying the table for about 20mins before this hand:

I'm on the button with  :  : (stack around £250)
Two limpers to me (including the young reg in UTG) and I make it £6, blinds fold and UTG makes it £26. I call

 :  :  :

UTG Cbets £35, I call. I think my flush draw and two overs to this board is good enough to continue with. I cant see that this has hit is range well

 :

UTG checks and I check behind for pot control. I considered semi-bluffing the turn but thought it was well within the villains ability to get out of line with any two and decided I just didn't know what I would do if he check raises. 

 :

Villain checks again. I feel that the Villain has showed so much weakness now that he is polarised to either trying to trap me with a set or he has absolutely nothing/missed draw, it goes against all the other lines I have seen since he sat down. I bet £52 and after a lot of talk he crying calls and mucks when I show the King.

Did I miss value with the turn check? if he has enough to call the river bet then he surely would have called the turn AND what do i do if he check raises the river? Is the rivered top pair good enough to play for stacks here?

How about leading turn instead of check raising?

Have to be honest I didn't even consider leading the turn... The way that he was playing he would have made the same move if he had turned the flush so I might have robbed myself of some information...

Only issue i might have with leading the turn is that these sort of players will just see the turned flush and assume you have it so might fold the a hand that that think are worth a bet if checked to them... bit results orientated but ya'know...

Thanks for the feedback. I think after the hand I though that I might have been and 'only getting called by better' situation...
